Reply to Favorite Game in Everything Else GalCiv2 Forums

[quote who="xthetenth" reply="9" id="2198121"]If it's a game that's stood the test of time for me it's probably Crimson Skies, best damn flight sim I've ever played (need to give TIE fighter another go before I say it for certain, tho). The entire atmosphere of the game is magnificent, and the voice acting is spectacular. Plus the planes are crazy awesome. Shame I think XP's the last os it'll run on. [/quote] I tried to install it on xp and i couldn't get it to work :( I agree with yo

I would say that the game that has always been my favorite is the original Red Alert. I'm a sucker when it comes to stories and no other game has ever developed a story the way Red Alert did. This may be abit biased becaused as a kid i was introduced to Red Alert before i even knew about the Tiberium universe. The story in Red Alert was expertly told through movies that were considered to be quite advanced for their time. After being introduced to the Tiberium Unive

True say, you could always just throw everything you got at them and see how it turns out. Of course that would kind of go against Mormon's principles without being first provoked. Like the chancellor said keep making unreasonable demands like a type of tribute. That usually works with these kind of games. If you can also get one the allies to declare war then that would set a nice two on two war that would probably be fun to storytell. Im sure you'll find something, Im far from being

Thanks for the continued encouragements. I know so far I've been sparse on actual action but rest assured things will start to heat up, I doubt bradshaw will allow Drengin Influence to continue its outward expansion while Terran worlds begin to feel the inexorable pull of said influence. Cheers

Pearson Naval Station The Hub Alan Bradshaw stood in his large office in front of a window and stared out into space. In his field of vision he could see the large shield components of the outer ring protecting the inner pyramid structure. The Station itself held a number of Helix Squadrons as well as numerous weapon platforms. It was undoubtedly the most secure and powerful structure in space protecting one of the most important sectors of Federation worlds. The s

Terran constructor vessel Jaques Demers Former location of Springfield Mining Station The Jaques Demers hung over a large debris field. Her captain sat in his chair somewhat speechless at the destrucion visible on his bridge viewer. Salvage crews were already out to try and retrieve any type of useful materials. Large searchlights swam over the area to illuminate large chunks of what used to be the Springfield mining station. Illumination was bad since the

yep, that's why it's good to have a planet or two continuously building constructors. Bear in mind that certain defensive or offensive modules or your starbases will cost some money.

Chapter twenty: Home Earth Sol System Bavarian Alps Klaus Muckler took a deep breath and filled his lungs deep with the fresh mountain breeze. He closed his eyes and turned his face to the sun to let the warmth envelope him as he let out his breath. He had stood on many worlds and witnessed different suns rise and set, but nothing compared to THE sun on Earth. He was finally at home after close to twenty

Useless planets in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

heya fellas, My question pertains to the valididty of colonizing planets under level 5 or 4. When i ususally see systems with lvl 4 or lower planets i tend to just ignore them and keep going untill i find somethign higher. Is my strategy retarded? should i be colonizing every single planet i come across?

Reply to Science and God (One and the same?) in Everything Else GalCiv2 Forums

It could simply be that "God" does nto exist. All we are left with are a series of known and unknown things. Considering the vastness of our universe I would say that with all mankind has accomplished we are not even at a mere .01% of acquiring all the knowledge we can. As the Op has stated; Over the course of our history science has replced the need for gods or god. I don't believe it is possible for a single race (human or other) to know the full 100% of things to kn

"The most concrete piece of evidence we have that intelligent life exist is that they haven't yet tried to contact us." Sometimes i laugh at that but when you actually think about it, it makes a lot of sense. Not enough people have a sense of higher important things. They are too caught up in th rat race of life, trying to get that new acr or make a down payment on a bigger house. Success is measured in dollars regardless of all the meaningful and higher intellect some possess
